Why you passed

“no enterprise logos, serverless postgres is a knife fight”

Daniel Okafor's note, word for word

  • No big customers

    Cleared by: a partnership or a named enterprise customer

    No coverage
  • Market too small

    Cleared by: expansion news, reviewed by a person

    No coverage

What changed

No public news since the pass. That means no coverage, not a no. A short check-in note is the best next step.

Re-engagement note

Nothing is sent without your approval

No objection is resolved yet, so this draft is a light check-in rather than a revisit.

Approving sets the Affinity status to Re-engage and files the memo to the fund's Roundtable workspace. No email is sent.
